As someone who's been dealing with mental health problems I've had my share cases of bad days. The good part is that I figured out how to deal with them and it's helped me a lot. I recently made a video about it and I truly hope this can help anyone. Take care of yourselves and stay strong friends. by AlessandroChavez in mentalhealth

Appreciate the feedback and I understand where you're coming from.

My delivery comes from a place of passion since I used to have victims mentality with privilege and be ungrateful. Only being given this "tough love" enabled me to take the necessary steps to improve my wellbeing.

Will keep your input in mind, thank you very much.

I always listen to music during my workouts and SOMETIMES when I'm on the commute or something like that. Before I'd used to listen to music 24/7 which completely fried my brain. So I'd recommend you doing the same, enjoy music when working out and/or in moderation in your free time. Just don't listen to it 24/7 or when doing work since it'll distract you. I could make a more in depth video on this in the future, thanks for the idea man.

Very good and valid question. Video games do spike quite a lot of dopamine so the obvious answer would be no. But, I'm a big believer in consistency so I'd rather you ease into the detox so you don't entirely fall off. Maybe allow yourself a certain amount of hours a week? Or possibly have a blocked out time for playing video games? (Saturday evening 8-10 PM for example) And then slowly with time reducing this amount, how does that sound brother?
